lulz, more like Swizz Beats V Kanye

yeh rza dre prem all 1st first they sould've included MF DOOM he has been getting it in since da mid 90s with his KMD crew

Premier, no question. Although this is Vibe we're talking about so Toomp or Banner will get it.

Thinking kanye might grab this one for no reason in general other than it's vibe.

Premier would get it if it was up to me and I wouldn't be mad if RZA, Pete Rock, The Bomb Squad, Prince Paul and a few others won. With that being said I see Dre or Kanye winning this.

Just Blaze.

SOUL SAMPLES already won.

bracket is pretty suspect in some areas but it's better than i expected.

Toomp at 16 is despicable though. Neptunes at 1 is a joke too. I love Mannie Fresh but c'mon son. same goes for Swizz but he's actually wack.

there's a small handful of post 2000 southern producers ill take over Lil Jon any day.

PIMP C should have found his way on here

Polow, The Heatmakerz, and Tip got ROBBED

Tedd Riley, Mr. Lee, Dust Brothers, Herby, all laughable. let's replace them with Madlib, Danja, Buckwild, and my son Khayree.

I know he's more known for R&B but Teddy Riley's influence on most of the other producers in the tournament cant be under estimated. He was basically the Pharrell of the late 80s-early 90s and pretty much perfected the R&B/Rap mix.

The only issue I ever bought.

agreed, which is why I think the tournament is a bit strange given the scope of the selections. you have music legends pitted against beat makers, musicians known more for their pop and r&b works being compared to hip hop pioneers.

if we're talking impact, half those names don't belong, same goes is true if we're strictly talking craftsmanship.

lol @ 9th wonder being on there

not a bad list.. obviously trying to appeal to every rap fan possible

jermaine dupri, will.i.am.. not a lack of people who make shit beats. but i guess some people they included off of name & success more than anything else

Large Pro vs Q - Tip.. Who you taking?

erm, no Alchemist? no Black Milk? not saying they'd win but if you're gonn put Bangladesh and 88 Keys in there...

Will.I.Am is a good producer.

true story

meh. in the grand scheme of things, considering other people that could've taken his place.. i do not agree

the best producers of all time are

rza
dr dre
timbaland
premier
prince paul

no fucking way is Timbaland top 5

Marley Marl
Premier
Pete Rock
Dr Dre
RZA

is it even fair to put producers of the past against current producers? It's a never ending argument.
